Very good. Did they make any organic chains/rings that way? Might be an interesting way to create oil. It's a big leap from all sorts of life like replications to actual life. Even single celled organisms are unfortunatly complex. I don't think there is enough evididence that we can be sure just how we all got here.
Ocean going ships come in for maintenance annually and nearly complete renewal every five years. That more expensive when your turbines are at the bottom of the sea. There are some companies looking into tidal power in fast moving tidal basins (the Bay of Fundy, East River, Grey's Harbor, and the Straights of Juan de Fuca (I said all that mostly so I could say Juan de Fuca). Biggest issue they're having is you need very fast moving tidal changes to make it worth putting down the turbines so most of the effort is fighting over the few prime spots.
At least Bill's monopoly didn't result in buying it on the cheap from the government. I doubt even his worst opponents would prefer to be under IBM's monopoly (leasing server time was much worse). They made a mistake and he capitalized on it.
I'll contest, it seems that once you get a few hundred million you have more than enough that your progeny won't work a day in their lives. I'd suspect that everyone on that list is chasing hard after being #1, money is just the ticks on the score sheet for many of them.
I will start with one of the wisest thing's I've heard, Most of what we laugh at isn't very funny at all. Laughter is a pretty complex subject, and some subjects are still taboo in polite society that the only one who can bring them up is the jester.
Here's a fairly recent report on the levels of Inmate on Inmate assult, per capita Federal occurance is under half of state prisons and local jails. http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/pdf/svrca05.pdf (Page 13 has the full data tables)
As far as rehibilitation, I'm not exceedingly optimistic, but I would think that many non-violent offenders would be better off outside the system, give those who need it job training. Certain types of predators probably can't be changed nor tempered and we should work to minimize their damage on the population.
Engineering wages in India have been skyrocketing, several companies have closed up shop and returned to the US because it's now cheaper than there. That took less time than I was expecting.
When the politics section was new the signal to noise ratio was much higher. Yeah there were partisan wails (and many more offensive trolls) but there were generally more than a couple thoughtful posts that more than made wading through the crap worthwhile.
I'm not sure the fear is that it will happen to them personally, but the fear that it really does happen unjustifiably. It's not usually the condemned that's cracking the jokes as those who will witness the event. The unjustifiably is thrown in since American culture still draws pretty heavily from the Puritan ethos and, I suspect more than a few Americans would tactly accept a policy that didn't remind them personally for the guilty. Puritians seemed to be more vigilant in their beliefs that chance was more than a little impacted by your actions (so everyone got their just desserts).
Wasn't the movie "Half Baked" I recall the scene but dang college was a long time ago and that was the last time I saw Half Baked. Chappelle was still a fairly young man then.
The division isn't 12% it's almost 100%, state prisons are generally hellholes (mixing many criminals in general population), while federal prisons are either supermax where there isn't any opportunity or minimum security where most of the incarcerated are non-violent. The irony is that from office space's quote, most people associate federal prison with the quote.
I'm all for prison reform, aiming at rehibilitation (likely with restution rather than incarceration) for all non-violent offenders, and incarceration that preserves humanity for violent offenders. I'm pro legalization and regulation for most drugs which I believe would reduce the population by a substantial amount.

Paragraph 2, 4, and 5 should give you some needed info. I'm in favor of the commutation, as this was little more than walking the injured guy off the field at the end of the game. Politics is rough, and some people get hurt, but the pain shouldn't be that large. Don't forget that his $250,000 fine hasn't been commuted (and that's good money to even a staffer at his level).
It's not funny, but most people when confronted with their deepest fears use humor in an attempt to separate themselves from them. Gallows humor is named that for a reason.
Ironically, it's state prison that has far more rape.
I'd no nothing about sailing except for Pirates! and 17th century trading games. In addition, I have a good knowledge of Carribean geography and who the colonial powers were, as well as what most nations produce/export from those games. None of them were intended to be educational, but when you're a pirate in a Barque on the run from a Spanish Frigate (and you're running low on men). It helps to know where British, French or Dutch ports will be located without refering to the port list every time.
I'm not sure it was a great use of time, but for a bit of side knowledge that I'd never have picked up elsewhere (and probably would have spent playing Mario or something similar anyway), it doesn't come off too shabby.
From what I could tell (the video was pretty small) most of the things that appear to leave the wing were the stress inducing bars (that hang above the wing leaving the wing surface (with a bit of metal). The amount of material that hit the floor was exceedingly minor (none of the bottom surface and only a few pieces from the top. Considering they tensioned the wing to failure that's pretty impressive.
Your airline pilot probably won't still be up for pulling a 9G dive, but pretty cool none the less.
I was talking about breaking the wing in a test environment. When the wing breaks, I'm gessing a carbon fiber wing has a whole lot more total system energy and I'm assuming that the wing will shatter rather than have most components yield but remain intact to the system (in the video while the wings break, the panels and struts are still generally attached to the wing. The carbon fiber wing should be far safer in a production environment.
A regenerative flywheel is smaller and holds a lot less energy. If the wings are that much stronger, they might hold to 300% or more of max design load (the aluminum one broke at 150% so now there's more than twice the system energy to dissipate. (Metal can't be used in those types of flywheels because it doesn't have strong enough bonds to hold that much energy). Aluminum components generally bend (causing the wing to buckle) which you could see quickly in the 787 video, but all the components generally remained intact. I'm sure some of the struts were quite warm, and the sheath metal was very hot in the places where it failed. That's energy that didn't turn into kinetic energy.
Carbon fiber generally separates into fibers and dust, which are more likely to have potential energy converted into kinetic energy requiring additional safety equipment in the test environment. Since wings are quite large that cost may not be insubstantial (testing a flywheel or engine to failure requres a big pit lined with wood), but a wood lined pit here would be gigantic.
I know they are there (I grew up near the border and have been up to Canada many times). I was unaware that by complying with the US embargo (which applies to citizens even when outside the country) I was simultaniously breaking Canadian law. I guesss I better argue that I didn't care for a cigar that day and hope for the best.
Exactly my point, testing to failure might mean 200% of max load, and if it shatters rather than buckles it could be rough on your test environment. There were quite a few people standing in the room when the wings went pop.
So does that mean when I'm in Canada, I must try the Cuban cigars? Very strange law (not that our embargo is any less strange), are all exporters required to trade with Cuba? Seems difficult to enforce.
Miami, the party that reverses the embargo can count on losing the Cuban vote in Florida for at least a couple of elections, and with races as tight as they've been for as long as they've been Florida is pretty crucial to the presidency. There aren't a couple hundred thousand (million?) Chinese anti-communists living in an important swing state.
It's potentially more dangerous than an alumnium wing, 150+% of design load has to be a substantial amount of energy stored in the wing, and while aluminum will deform in failure (converting most of the energy to heat) carbon fiber seems more likely to shatter.
I could only tell from the register print at the end of my shift. It had the total (dollars) each time broken out Cash, Credit, Check, Debit, other. At the time Debit and other were both low under 5%, and I was surprised to see the pattern that it didn't really matter what I remembered selling on a given day, but that the amounts were pretty constant ratios. Without that, i'd have been very hard pressed to tell you what my sales break outs were. I agree that the rise of debit has probably cut check use by a huge margin.
